Average Cookie Recipe

measurecookie.jpegAfter my best chocolate chip cookie search post yielded 26 recipes in 24 hours, I knew I had too many cookie recipes to bake each and every one. So like any good geek, I averaged the recipes to make the best cookie recipe ever, or what I call a Mean Chocolate Chip Cookie. Get it? Mean? Ha ha ha.

Camel Boot

camelboot2epa1805228×429.jpegIt’s enough to give any camel the hump – hooves too sore to walk on after a close encounter with a fire.

But, luckily for Goliath, a specialist shoe maker stepped in and custom made him four sturdy boots.

The camel would be more at home in the desert but was on a trek through Europe to raise funds for children’s charities when his hooves were hurt in a roadside grass blaze.

As Goliath and his owner Joerg Schmid rested in the town of Bonndorf, southern Germany, locals came to his aid by donating money to have the boots made by specialist firm Wessels.
